Mia had a great weekend with daddy! She didn't sleep at all last night; she's still dealing with the after effects of the steroids including an elevated heart rate again. They are monitoring it closely and might decide to giver her hydrocortisone again to see if it helps.
The goal is to get us home at some point this week so she has a break before starting the next cycle but we are waiting for her neutrophil count to come up. It went up and now dropped again today so it's a wait and see. Her bone marrow biopsy is scheduled for next Monday to see how much leukemia is is still there. At this point, it looks like she won't be in remission after this cycle being there is still leukemia in her blood. We will keep moving forward and pray that the next cycle gets it for good!
On on a side note, yesterday we had a nurse that was a cancer survivor. She relapsed 1 year shy of being 5 years cancer free, had a bone marrow transplant, left teaching to become a nurse and now has 2 healthy children. So inspiring and at the right moment too!
Your constant prayers are being felt everyday!!! xoxo
